Evers Releases Common Core Toolkit
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | August 26, 2013
Dear Colleagues,
As you know, Wisconsin adopted the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English Language Arts and Mathematics in 2010, the culmination of a three year collaborative journey toward higher and clearer standards for Wisconsin. Since then, the CCSS have been a game-changer, helping to ensure all students graduate ready for college and career. Your committed work has been central to enacting these reforms, and your voices are critical in helping Wisconsin stay focused and committed to the CCSS.
While DPI meets frequently with stakeholders to share the transformational work that is going on around the state, the CCSS implementation stories you have at the local level are far more compelling. To assist you in your efforts to communicate about the CCSS, DPI has developed a Wisconsin CCSS Administrator Communication Toolkit complete with info-briefs, a customizable PowerPoint and communications, a CCSS Myths and Facts document that is updated regularly, and other relevant resources. We hope this toolkit is helpful to you as you share your experiences about the CCSS with legislators, school board members, parent groups, local organizations including chambers of commerce and rotary clubs, local news outlets, and others in your community.
If you have any questions about this toolkit or need additional information, please contact Emilie Amundson, Director of DPI’s Common Core State Standards Team at Emilie.Amundson@dpi.wi.gov. Thank you for the work you and your colleagues do every day to advance the CCSS and all of our Agenda 2017 efforts to ensure every child is a graduate, ready for college and career.
Sincerely,
Tony Evers, PhD
State Superintendent
